“…Therefore, if the normal linear regression model is applied to evaluate the impact on the performance of the firm, the obtained estimators will be biased and unstable. To solve such problems, it is appropriate to apply the Tobit regression model (Cameron and Trivedi, 2009;Ling et al, 2018;Phan and Hien, 2021). In this study, Stata 16 is used to conduct Tobit regression for the data of 170 Vietnamese seafood processing firms from 2013 to 2018, the model is set up as follows:…”

This research aims to estimate and analyze the technical efficiency of Vietnamese seafood processing firms by applying the semi-parametric stochastic frontier model and Tobit regression. The data used in this study is a panel sample of 170 Vietnamese seafood processing firms in the period from 2013 to 2018. It is collected from enterprise census data of the General Statistics Office of Vietnam and provincial competitiveness index data of the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The estimated results show that: The scores of technical efficiency of firms averaged 0.712 and there was a decline during the study period. There is still plenty of room for technical efficiency in firms; The gap in technical efficiency in firms is still large and there is a strong difference in efficiency between firm’s ownerships and firm sizes; Firms with export activities, large scale, foreign direct investment capital, and low equity restrictions will have a positive impact on technical efficiency; However, there is no evidence to show the impact of the firm’s age and firm located in industrial zones factors on the efficiency of firms. In addition, the institutional quality and business environment also have an impact on the performance of firms.

Purpose: The objective of this article was to analyze what are the corruption risk factors in Vietnam's land use certificate issuing process in Vietnam, identify the manifestations of these factors in land use certificates issuing process. Theoretical framework: There have been many studies analysing the situation of corruption in Vietnam, including those researches in the field of land in Vietnam. However these studies have yet not answered the following questions about the corruption risk factors in Vietnam's land use certificate issuing process and the manifestations of these factors in land use certificates issuing process. Design/methodology/approach: The authors use a value chain approach to assess the risk of corruption in the procedure for granting land use certificates. Based on using the theoretical formula (“equation”) of corruption "Corruption = Monopoly + Description - Accountability" (Klitgaard, 1988), the authors study each step in the process to analyze corruption risks. At the same time, the desk review method to collect and analyze documents and legal documents was also used. The authors also made use of secondary data from 2017 to present from the annual Provincial Competitiveness Report (PCI) of Vietnam, the Corruption Perception Index (CPI), the Corruption Barometer (VCB), Effective Provincial Governance and Public Administration (PAPI) to clarify the current state of corruption risks in the land use certificates issuing process. Findings: Corruption risk factors exist in all the flows of issuing land use certificates in Vietnam. The main factor leading to the risk of corruption in the current land use certification process in Vietnam is the policy gap caused by overlapping legal regulations, high monopoly, and discretion of authorities with low accountability. All these factors lead to the risk of corruption in issuing land use certificates in Vietnam. Research, Practical & Social implications: We suggest future research of in-depth analysis of the causes and effects of corruption risk factors in each steps of the land use certificates issuing process. Originality/value: The article results indicate that corruption risk factors still exist in the flows of issuing land use certificates in Vietnam, although there is a decrease compared to previous periods.
